179 Military parade
Li Tianyang's goal was not achieved, and the priest who inspected Bengang was still in Bengang, so it was impossible for Li Tianyang to be so big as to let the priest go around in Bengang alone.
In addition to sending Wu Jie, Gan Dabiao and others back to Jilong Port first, Li Tianyang stayed, but it was rare to have a few days of time with Yumo.
He took the foreigner priest around Bengang for a few days, and then took him for a walk among the clans of the members of the Bengang Alliance. For more than half a month, Felix had traveled all over the places around Bengang.
In order to attract the priests, Li Tianyang can be said to have put in a lot of effort and money, just to show the best side of the team to the foreign priest.
Of course, for the deficiencies, Li Tian raised nature, and hid them so that the foreigner priests would not notice them, such as the continuous fighting with the indigenous tribal warriors outside the chicken coop harbor and so on!
However, in order to prevent foreigners from being greedy because Bengang and other places are too beautiful, Li Tianyang also took him to visit the Huludao outpost. Under the leadership of Wu Daofu, thirty or forty warships were sprinkled around, showing the foreigners in front of them the skillful ship control skills of senior sailors.
This is also the first military parade and exercise in the actual sense of Li Tianyang's team, when they see the warships sometimes scattered in a line, and sometimes more than a dozen warships form an arrow-shaped breakthrough, even Li Tianyang himself did not expect that his team has been so strong.
The Hongtang team members were able to give Li Tian such a long face, thanks to the efforts of the newly appointed instructor and Wu Daofu, the commander of Huludao.
Perhaps because of the influence of young people, or because of his own ambition, Wu Daofu has worked under Li Tianyang for the past two years, which is quite hard. And with the increasing power in his hands, he gradually realized his own shortcomings, and in his spare time, he also learned the drill energy of Guan Juxiong at the beginning.
Huludao is so small that even the morning exercises on weekdays, most of the fighters can only be carried out in batches on the decks of their respective warships, so at night, most of the team members have nothing to do.
For this reason, Li Tianyang specially organized the teenagers from Tanmen in the team to become teachers and clear the illiteracy of these vulgar men who rarely knew how to read and write in their ancestors. In order to arouse everyone's enthusiasm for learning, Li Tianyang also specially gave a death order to the promotion of Hongtang's soldiers, but in the annual promotion rank and salary inspection, under the same conditions and merits, priority will be given to those soldiers who know how to read and write and study hard.
The impact of this order on the team members was great, and many soldiers who were brave in battle but could not bear to learn naturally complained, but in order to consider the long term, Li Tianyang was still stubborn and forcibly pressured Wu Daofu to resolutely carry it out.
For this reason, under the correlation of vital interests, a group of rude men who are five big and three coarse, and who look fierce and vicious, no longer chat and brag at night, but sit in front of the oil lamp, holding a book and frowning there!
It is also under this influence that the soldiers who have learned some culture and knowledge will be more likely to understand the tactical movements of the instructors, making it easier for Du Rui to coach tactics.
Du Rui has been fighting in Liaodong land for many years, and he is not very clear about the naval battle, but he has pirates like Wu Daofu and Lu Qi around him to help him give advice, and share his secrets in the naval battle over the years. The so-called three stinkers, with Zhuge Liang at the top, and with the concerted efforts, there is such a group of fleets that are like arms and arms, and all kinds of battle formations can be freely converted.
"Oh, I said dear Li, you have surprised me too much, your Bengang and Jilong Port are so beautiful, even I want to live in the beautiful Bengang City all the time, and I don't miss Macau City at all, what is this in the words of your Ming Dynasty people in Cao Ying's heart in Han!" I had just watched the wonderful military parade of the Hongtang soldiers in Huludao, and the blonde priest with a mixture of excitement and shock couldn't help but admire.
"Hey, Father Felix, you've got the idiom wrong, I guess it's a pleasure! Tell me, how do our warriors compare to the Franc fighters? Li Tianyang was also full of pride, and said with high spirits as he looked at the dozens of warships that gradually returned to the team and slowly docked.
Seeing the shocked eyes of the foreigner priest, Li Tianyang felt complacent in his heart, but also felt that this was the effect he wanted. Although these Franco-machine people, that is, Portugal that Li Tianyang knew about later generations, vaguely remembered in Li Tianyang's limited historical knowledge that it was only a small country, and because of its own insufficient population, it was impossible for Li Tianyang to covet the development of Bengang and other places under Li Tianyang's home turf, but the necessary armed demonstrations still had to be made.
Because of the greed of these foreigners, and the desire and behavior of self-control, it is enough to make them willing to take risks, if they do not put their strength in front of them, let them be jealous, and they can't turn around, this seemingly kind foreigner priest will inform the Francois of the news of Bengang and other places one by one, and persuade them to send troops to capture Bengang.
After all, no matter how beautiful other people's territory is, it is not as good as taking it into the hands of their own country, and for foreigners who have always been able to distinguish the relationship between faith and country, they can definitely do this kind of thing.
"Well, how do you say that? Of course, your soldiers are all strong, and their skills in handling boats are also first-class, but today's world is no longer an era when a group of fierce and brave warriors can fight the world, and it depends more on the use of advanced technologies such as firearms. Father Felix seemed to be a real man, and after some careful reflection, he gave his opinion sincerely: "All the way from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, we have seen too many brave and strong warriors on the way, but they have all been defeated by our artillery muskets, is it not that they are not brave? ”
"For example, your warships, if you look at the strength of our European warships, I am afraid that one warship can beat ten warships like yours, and it will win in the end. Not to mention that you still have long knives and spears in your hands, and our European armies and warriors are all equipped with the latest muskets, and I heard that the flintlock spears in Europe are even more powerful, and they don't need to use flint to ignite when soldiers shoot. ”
The self-satisfaction in Li Tianyang's heart gradually disappeared in the blonde priest's conversation, nodded his head in agreement, and calmly listened to the priest's objective comparison.
